REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Perth Basin, Western Australia

In early December 2019, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Pilot Energy Limited (ASX: PGY) ("Pilot Energy") and Key Petroleum Limited (ASX: KEY) ("Key Petroleum") (together, the Joint Venture ("JV") partners) in order to secure an option to acquire a 70% operated interest in the offshore Perth Basin exploration permit, WA-481-P.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Red Emperor agreed to fund the completion of an existing committed work programme comprising geological and geophysical studies required to be undertaken within the final year of the current permit term, up to a capped amount of A$150,000. Contemporaneous with such work programme, the existing JV partners, Pilot Energy (60% interest) and Key Petroleum (40% interest), in conjunction with Red Emperor, have formally applied to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator ("NOPTA") for a renewal of the permit, which expired on 19 February 2020.

 

On completion of the work programme, currently being managed and administered by Key Petroleum, and a favourable renewal decision from NOPTA, Red Emperor will have the exclusive option to acquire a 70% interest in, and the right to operate (subject to any requisite regulatory approval(s)), WA-481-P, in return for paying the JV partners, collectively, A$500,000. Red Emperor has until 15 business days after NOPTA's approval of the permit renewal application to exercise such option. A renewal decision is currently expected to be received in Q1 2020.

 

For further details, please refer to the Company's AIM announcement of 2 December 2019.

 

Alaska North Slope

During the reporting period, the consortium partners purchased additional regional 3D seismic data within ADL#s 391718, 391719, 391720 & 391721 (collectively, the "Western Blocks"), and the consortium is currently reviewing its plans to either reprocess / reinterpret the legacy 3D seismic data or seek to monetise the blocks.

 

Philippines (Block SC55)

On 26 August 2019, the 4-month extension to the moratorium period granted by the Philippine's Department of Energy ("DoE") expired. The Joint Venture then sought to enter into Sub-Phase 5 which required further, significant expenditure including the commitment to drill an exploration well in 2020.

 

The Board decided that this was not the optimum use of shareholder funds and as a result, during Q4 2019, the Company advised the operator, Palawan55, of its intention to withdraw from the Joint Venture and have its equity interest re-assigned. Red Emperor still awaits formal approval of the reassignment of its equity interest in Block SC55 from the PoE and will advise shareholders once this has occurred.

 

 

Corporate

In August 2019, Mr. Gracjan Lambert, Chief Executive Officer, resigned from the Company, by mutual agreement, in order to pursue his other business interests.

 

During the Period, Red Emperor retained the services of Mr. John Begg on a part-time basis to assist with introducing and reviewing business opportunities. John is an expert, upstream oil and gas project generator and deal closer. With decades of experience in equity capital markets, John is an industry-leading geoscientist who has lived and worked with consistently high business impact in Australia, developing SE Asian countries, the UK, Middle East and the USA.

 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

Subsequent to the reporting period end, the Company transferred A$150,000 to the JV partners of the offshore Perth Basin exploration permit WA-481-P to fund the completion of an existing committed work programme comprising geological and geophysical studies required to be undertaken within the final year of the current permit term.

 

There are no other significant events subsequent to the end of the Period to the date of this report.
